Quote from: Butch on Feb 26, 2026,  5:48 AMWhy have coupes and convertibles practically disappeared from current car production? At dealerships, there are only SUVs with bug-like front ends and supercars that all look alike and are out of reach. For games, SUVs are love killers, and supercars pass through gamemodel and end up converted into most wanted with vulgar colors... sadness.

Because copes an cabrios ain't making much money nowadays - your average consumer would rather buy an oversized plastic SUV with tons of display and absolutely no practicality.

Which is kinda sad, really. Back in the day people actually had the ability to buy good, reliable cars like the Mercedes W123-124 and Toyotas of the time.

And now? Plastic SUVs with weakened Inline 3 engines that break down exactly five days after the warranty ends.
Give that man a speaker!!

Here's another good view of why new cars aren't good nomore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qX6-LCe3vE
He mainly talks about the steering. What i preferably would moan about is the electronic gas pedals on some newer cars. They give a horrible feeling/response about controlling/managing the throttle

Damn, I want a Porsche 944 now =D
Such a cool ride, and also it's something that seems cheap enough to be obtainable


As for electronics in modern cars - I think you're right on that one.
Electric stuff just makes it feel completely different from mechanic stuff, and that's exactly the reason EVs arent so fun to drive
